When I hit the pedal it cuts the power on my 1949 22 series

We are talking about a 1949 super 8 touring sedan I am learning as I go boys so keep in mind you are talking to a newbie.

I've had my packard for almost a year and I drive it a couple miles 4/7 days a week. I've run through my fair share of small problems including ones that seemed earth stopping but were very simple to fix. But I'm kind of freaking out a little.

I was teaching the wife how to drive her and stalled so many times that I had to start my car with a second battery. Let assume I hooked up wrong and fried something. I charged the original battery and then I went to start it a few days later and it would hum untill I pushed the pedal and it would lose all power. I swapped a new starter solenoid in hoping that was the problem. Still nothing. But when I hook up a different battery I press the pedal and I get a whirring sound.

ANY help with this would be greatly appreciated.
